How do I get Kwiziq on my android phone?

Why is the article for rose du rather than le? Earlier in the paragraph le bleu is used...

"Claire knows the shop closing time" requires "connaitre", but "Claire knows the shop closes at midday" requires "savoir"? Are they not both facts (connaitre)? Or both stating knowledge of a fact (savoir)? What's the difference? Very confusing!

Why does "CP" correspond to "first grade"? How are French grade levels named?
